What is Microdosing?
You’re sure to have heard the term “microdosing” at least once in your life, but what exactly does it mean? Microdosing is when someone takes a dose of something, in this case THC, that is much smaller than the typical dose. So, why consider microdosing THC? Well for some, the typical dose of 10mg per edible could be a bit overwhelming. Not everyone is looking to get stoney-baloney when it comes to cannabis consumption. Many people are just looking for mild stress or pain relief. That’s where microdosing can help! Microdosing is often achieved through the use of consumables like tinctures, candies, or other edibles. With microdosing, many find that they can experience the relaxing effects of cannabis without necessarily impairing their coordination or perception.
About Tinctures
Tinctures are typically alcohol-based cannabis extracts that are great for those who are new to cannabis and don’t want to smoke it. With a tincture, it’s easy for users to measure their exact dose with an eyedropper. This is helpful for those who might not know how much THC they need to get the effects they desire. With the eyedropper, you can start with a small amount like 1mg and work your way up in small increments of 0.5 to 1mg if you feel you need a little more. Using this method, you can find out exactly what dose works for you and use that as a reference for other consumables like candies. Tinctures can be consumed in multiple ways. You can put them directly under your tongue, mix them into your drink of choice, or even infuse them into a recipe like mashed potatoes and gravy.
About Edibles
Candies and edibles are the next best way to microdose and are better suited for those who have figured out which dose works best for them. Candies typically come in at about 10mg per candy, but some brands offer smaller doses too. Mr.Moxey’s Mints are a great example of this, offering doses of 1mg-5mg per mint. Journeyman is another great choice. They offer their signature CBD jellies that contain 30mg of CBD and only 1mg of THC per edible.
With larger dose candies you can always split them into smaller pieces for a smaller dose, but this may not be as precise as measuring out a tincture. Unlike tinctures that could take effect in as little as 15 minutes, candies and edibles could take 30 to 90 minutes to kick in. As a result, these are best consumed when you plan on spending the day in one place. That way, the effects won’t creep up on you at an unexpected moment when you’re out and about. Candies are another great microdosing option for people looking for a smokeless cannabis experience.
